Tess B -> QuickTime and FrontPage (5/4/2007 4:30:01)
Hi all. I have tried to put a QT movie onto my FP web site, but although it shows when I preview it in IE7, it doesn't show now I've published the site [:(] As it's the first time I've ever done this, I "cribbed" the code from another site I found which did what I wanted. To be honest, I have no idea what the "object classid" is/means (which probably means that's my problem!). Anyway, this is the code on my web page - <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="300" width="400"> <param name="cache" value="true"> <param name="src" value="golf.MOV"> <param name="autoplay" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="false"> <embed height="300" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="golf.MOV" type="video/quicktime" width="400" controller="false" autoplay="true" cache="true"> </object> Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks all.

usually this sort of issue is a path problem - can we see the online version it'll be easier to diagnose exactly what's wrong.

Sure, it's at http://www.pengweb.co.uk/sports%202.htm - go to the very bottom of the page and click on the large picture. (I think there might be a problem with QuickTime - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=883810&tstart=135 seems to be the same sort of thing) Thanks again

I think Tail is right, the script is trying to run a file called golf.MOV which is in the root directory of your site. <param name="src" value="golf.MOV"> I tried to locate it manually and got a 404 not found. First make sure the file is called golf.MOV and that the extension is in uppercase, exactly the same. Then check exactly where it is.

You've also got a load of stuff at the bottom of the page which isn't right

Jaybee and Tail, two real stars! Thanks very much (d'oh, those capital letters!!) [:)][:)]

In the pop up the code is looking for golf.mov different case entirely. The fact it's in a pop up may not be helping matters, if you still get trouble try just letting QT open by itself in the page. What exactly are these in each page? <meta id="ab:despengw" content="C:\Documents and Settings\Teresa\My Documents\My AlphaButton Files\Projects\despengw.prj" /> <meta id="ab:Sample-sport" content="C:\Documents and Settings\Teresa\My Documents\My AlphaButton Files\Projects\Sample-sport.prj" />
